Train More Play Less

I want to take a moment to celebrate Josiah Hartshorn .hartshorn and the incredible journey he’s been on. I first had the privilege of working with Josiah when he was just 11 years old—my very first homeschooled/training program kid—and from that moment, I knew he was destined for greatness. His family’s trust and dedication to helping him grow bigger, stronger, and more fundamentally sound truly set the foundation for his success.

Josiah’s unwavering commitment and hard work every single day paid off. His perseverance earned him a spot on the 12u USA National Team, and he continued to push himself beyond limits. That dedication led to a scholarship at Texas A&M and, most recently, being drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 6th round of the 2025 draft.

It’s genuinely inspiring to see a kid I was in the trenches with achieve his dreams. Trusting the process is one thing, but witnessing it come to life is something truly special.

None of this would have been possible without a supportive family who understands what it takes to become your best self.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of Josiah’s development and journey from a young age. I am grateful to have played a small role in his path to success, and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

High school conference play just concluded, and we can confidently say we witnessed greatness. Linkin Garcia from A3 Academy compiled a 60-hit season in the most competitive high school conference, the NAA.

Anyone who has played baseball understands how difficult it is to compile a 50-hit season at the high school level. Even when comparing players across different levels of competition—comparing “apples to oranges”—the percentage of players nationwide who achieve this is very low. When comparing players within similar competition levels—“apples to apples”—the number of players reaching 50 hits is even more limited.

Today, players are often praised and highlighted regardless of their actual performance. Hitting .300 in high school used to be considered an average season, yet now it is often celebrated as a significant achievement. This emphasis on superficial metrics can obscure truly outstanding seasons.

The reality is, achieving a 50-hit season is a rare feat that indicates a high level of performance. Going beyond 50 hits signifies excellence.

They will tell you to chase tournaments, showcases, and rankings. Why? This is how they make their living 💰. This has nothing to do with your development as a person or as a player.

You need to focus on you 🫵. Develop you! Success is chasing great habits, not trophies 🧠💪🏼

We want to congratulate Linkin Garcia on his 50th and 51st hits yesterday against Pro 5 Academy. We are truly witnessing greatness.

No other high school player in the country is putting up numbers like this against JUCO and NAA competition.

The attention to detail in each at-bat, the discipline, focus, patience, and mental strength are incredibly impressive for a high school athlete.

Good luck in the remainder of your senior season!

🙏🏽

So far, Kane Garcia is putting up Video Game numbers.

Record: 7-0

If you don’t have a Dynamic Routine, here is one you can follow 👊💯🧠💪🏼

The 1st test is the “EYE” test.

What you look like tells everyone you’re habits, discipline, and self respect.

Take pride in developing you. Strengthen your mental. Eat clean. Work hard. Recover and sleep. REPEAT!

You are not him because you are brainwashed to chase an image. You’re after a jersey, tournaments, showcases, write-ups, and opinions. You’re pursuing rankings and brands. Being great is not going to magically happen. Stop drooling over everyone else and be him. Focus on what truly matters and do the hard work; let the accolades come to you.

Athletes, you have to work on your mental strength. You are spending all your time and and money in areas that don’t matter without a strong mental state.

You need to separate yourself from everyone else and do hard things. 98% of people are going to stay in comfortable environments. You need to get around the 2% that are going to seek uncomfortable environments.

Chase Great Habits, not Trophies 🧠💪🏼

Our you are not being DEVELOPED.

Parents & Coaches are failing our youth!!

My message is not against coaches and organizations making money. I believe you should make money if you are doing your job.

The problem is majority of coaches and organizations are collecting money and not doing their job. They are manipulating our people. Very sad!!

Athletes, you’re growth in the process of development varies depending on 👆🏼👀✍🏼
